This study analyzed the quality characteristics of the Sansapyun products, which were manufactured by mixing with 0, 5, 10, 20, and 30% of Crataegi fructus concentrate and 9% of mung bean starch. The moisture content and pH in Sansapyun decreased significantly(p<0.001) as the concentration of Crataegi fructus concentrate increased. Sweetness increased as the amount of Crataegi fructus concentrate increased in both Before/After cases. As for the L value of the color characteristics of Sansapyun, it turned out that the control group, which had 0% of Crataegi fructus concentrate, was higher. Meanwhile, the a and b values were the strongest with 30% of Crataegi fructus concentrate. As the concentration increased, the hardness, springiness, chewiness, gumminess, cohesiveness all decreased significantly(p<0.001), while adhesiveness became higher as the concentration increased. The preference test showed that the increase of the concentration resulted in the increase of red color, fruity flavor, sour flavor, Chinese (herb) medicine flavor, sour taste, sweetness, Chinese (herb) medicine taste, stickiness, and aftertaste. However, the sleekness, transparency, hardness and springiness decreased as the concentration increased. The survey on the preference showed that the preferences for flavor, taste and overall preference were the highest at the 10% sample group, but the preferences for color and texture were the highest at the 20% sample group.

This study was designed to investigate foreigner preferences for the sensory characteristics of kimchi with different fermentation periods. After fermentation in a 5 freezer for 1, 7, and 15 days, Red Chinese Cabbage Kimchi, White Chinese Cabbage Kimchi, Kkakdugi, Chonggak Kimchi, Cucumber Kimchi, Green Onion Kimchi, and Mustard Kimchi were served to the respondents. The respondents had resided in Seoul and Kyunggi province for 3 years or less, and were from Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. Most respondents (62.9%) consumed a Korean meal daily, and 45% of all respondents reported eating kimchi 3 or 4 times a week. As a result, it can be said that foreigners residing in Korea preferred to eat kimchi as a side dish. Based on the respondents answers, we were able to determine the relative popularity of the different types of kimchi. They were, from most popular to least popular, Red Chinese Cabbage Kimchi, Kkakdugi Kimchi, Cucumber Kimchi, White Chinese Cabbage Kimchi, Chonggak Kimchi, Green Onion Kimchi, and Mustard Kimchi. Among those fermented for 1 day, Cucumber Kimchi was most preferred for its. When evaluating the overall preference of Kimchi, the best was in the order of Chinese cabbage (red)>Kkakdugi>Cucumber>Chinese cabbage (white)>Chonggak>Green onion>Mustard Kimchi. For 1 day in a fermented period, Cucumber Kimchi had the most preferred taste (5.76), appearance (5.66), odor (5.89), and texture (5.70). However, Cucumber Kimchi was least popular after 15 days of fermentation (p<0.01). The most preferred Kimchi after 15 days of fermentation was Red Chinese Cabbage Kimchi. Among the kimchi fermented for 7 days, White Chinese Cabbage Kimchi was most preferred. While foreigners indicated that they were satisfied with all the types of kimchi fermented for 1 day and 15 days, they were not satisfied with any of the kimchi fermented for 7 days, save for the White Chinese Cabbage Kimchi. Kkakdugi Kimchi had very high satisfaction scores for appearance, but low scores in taste. On the other hand, Chinese Cabbage Kimchi had low scores in odor (5.02-5.29), but high in texture (5.37-5.62) and taste (4.80-5.30), which are not factors sensitive to a change in acidity. These results showed that foreigners were generally satisfied with Kimchi, but became less satisfied as the Kimchi ripened. Most foreigners were not satisfied with the types of Kimchi that had a strong flavor. Chinese Cabbage Kimchi became the least sour after fermentation, and Cucumber Kimchi became most sour after fermentation.

This study was conducted to ivestigate the quality of modeled chinese-cabbage Kimchi. The mutual action of sub-ingredients and optimum mixing conditions were examined by analyses of pH, acidity, content of vitamins, carotenes, number of total microorganism, and Lactobacilli, the activities of softening related to enzymes (polygalacturonase and ${\beta}$-galactosidase), and sensory quality during fermentation. The result about the mutual action of red pepler powder and garlic showed that the pH was decresed as concentration of garlic was higher and that of red peppler powder became lower. Kimchi had unpleasant taste and undesirable odor when the adding ratio of the peper powder and garlic was unbalanced. As the concentration of garlic became higher, the content of vitamin C in Kimchi tissue decreased while that of vitamin C in Kimchi juice increased. The contents of vitamin B1, B2 and carotene increased as the concentration of garlic became lower. The optimum mixing ratio of red pepper powder and garlic evaluated by overall eating quality was 4.66% and 3.45%, respectively. The result about the mutual action of ginger and green onion was that pH became higher as the concentration of ginger was 1.84% and that of green onion was 5.96%. The intensity of fresh taste and odor became stronger as the concentration of ginger increaed to 2.76% and that of green onion decreased to 2.98%. The balance of sour, salty and hot taste became better as the concentration of ginger increased and that of green onion decreased. The optimum mixing condition evaluated by overall eating quality was 2.94% in ginger ＋ 2.78% in green onion. The contents of vitamin B1, B2 and C were high in this condition. The result about the mutual action of leek and salted anchovy juice was that pH became lower as the concentration of leek increased and that of salted anchovy juice decreased. Sour, hot and sweet tastes were good in the condition of leek 12%, salted anchovy juice 4.69%. Palatable, fresh taste and odor became weaker when the one of both sub-ingredients was too much little. The optimum mixing condition evaluated by overall easting quality was 9.76% in leek ＋ 7.32% in salted anchovy juice. The contents of vitamin B1, B2, C and carotene were high in this condition and other sensory qualities were good. The result about the mutual action of salt and sugar was that pH became lower as the concentration of sugar became higher and that of salt became lower. The sweet taste was reduced of hot taste than salty taste. Palatable and fresh tastes were desirable when Kimchi fermented with less salt and more sugar. The optimum mixing condition evaluated by overall eating quality was 3.29% in sugar ＋ 4.80% in salt. The contents of vitamin B1, B1, C and carotene were high in this condition. The result of model Kimchi fermented at 20$^{\circ}C$ was that the number of Lactobacilli in model Kimchi was higher than that of in control Kimchi. The fermentation period was extended under pH 4.0 and the contents of vitamin B1, B1,C and carotene were high through the whole edible period. The activity of polygalacturonase was low, but that of ${\beta}$-galactosidase was high during fermentation.

This study was carried out to investigate the physicochemical characteristics, intake rate, and sensory properties of kimchi provided to elementary school foodservice in Seongnam. Average amount of kimchi intake at the elementary school foodservice for lower grade(1~3) students and higher grade(4~6) students was 7.15 g(23.83%) and 11.15 g(37.17%) respectively. The physicochemical properties of kimchi provided to the school foodservice in Seongnam were different between head cabbage kimchi(Pogi kimchi, H product) and head cabbage kimchi for children(C product). The head cabbage kimchi showed the pH 4.31~4.65(average pH 4.45), 6.86~8.38 $^{\circ}Brix$(average sugar content 7.74 $^{\circ}Brix$), and salinity 1.36~2.20%(average 1.73%) whereas the head cabbage kimchi for children indicated the pH 4.23~4.45(average pH 4.32), 7.68~8.48 $^{\circ}Brix$(average sugar content 8.18 $^{\circ}Brix$), and salinity 1.38~1.80%(average 1.65%). The result of the sensory evaluation of head cabbage kimchi and head cabbage kimchi for children indicated that there was significant difference by grades and gender. Higher graders tended to prefer less sweet, less sour and salty kimchi, and girls preferred sweet and sour kimchi more than boys. Therefore, it is required to develop kimchi for children considering sensory characteristics by grades and gender.

Jeungpyun has a unique sponge-like texture and sour taste imparted by the lactic acid and alcohol that are produced by the addition of Takju(turbid rice wine) as a starter. Its consumption, however. has been decreased due to the long preparation time, the difficulties in quality control and the offensive odor derived from the Takju. The present study was carried out in order to shorten the preparation time and to improve the quality of Jeungpyun. To achieve the objectives an appropriate commercial lactic acid starter was selected and a cofermentation system with yeast was developed. A starter containing Lactococcus lactis, Lactococcus cremoris and Lactococcus diacetylactis was selected based on the acid production rate and the quality of the produced sour taste. It took 3 hr for the lactic acid fermentation of rice slurry. The optimum addition levels of the lactic acid starter and yeast were 0.45% and 0.60%, respectively. The lactic acid fermented rice slurry was mixed with the rice slurry separately fermented for 2 hr by yeast, and cofermented for another 1 hr before steaming. Jeungpyun Prepared by the developed method was superior in quality to that Prepared by conventional method using Takju. The developed method reduced the preparation time more than 50% compared with the conventional method.

This study was conducted to examine the quality characteristics of canned kimchi prepared by minimal thermal processing. Korean cabbage kimchi was fermented at $20^{\circ}C$ for several days up to acidity $0.5{\pm}0.1%$, was packaged in cylindrical can of 115 mL and pasteurized at low temperature. Thermal processing times based on $F_{60}$ value at geometrical center of the can were determined as 23.1, 17.7 and 12.7 min at 65, 70 and $80^{\circ}C$, respectively. The quality changes of the processed kimchi were measured during storage at $20^{\circ}C$. The pH of pasteurized kimchi was higher than that of unpasteurized control. The number of lactic acid bacteria was reduced to about $10^{2}{\sim}10^{3}$ (CFU/mL). The pasteurized kimchi product showed better texture and color values compared to the control, while resulting in the lower carotenoid and ascorbic acid contents. Kimchi preparation by minimal thermal processing had a positive effect for reduction of sour taste and sour flavor in sensory quality, but gave adverse effect in acceptability because of off-taste and off-flavor.

The use of deodorizing plant products such as persimmon leaves, pine needles and fennel seeds to mask the characteristic odor of kimchi has been proposed. Therefore, in this study, the effect of deodorizing plants on kimchi fermentation and the profile of volatile flavor compounds was investigated. During sensory evaluation tests of sour and fermentation odors of kimchi, plant extract-added kimchi showed higher sensory scores than chopped plant-added kimchi. Additionally, kimchi containing pine needle extracts (0.3-0.6%) and fennel seed extracts (0.05-0.1%) showed higher sensory scores than untreated kimchi. In addition, pine needle extract and fennel seed extract had a significant influence on kimchi fermentation characteristics such as pH, total acidity and the concentration of lactic acid bacteria. The volatile flavor compounds of kimchi and deodorizing plant extracts were also analyzed using GC/MS and the correlation of volatile flavor compounds in kimchi, plant extracts and plant-added kimchi was examined. The results revealed that the sour and fermentation odors of kimchi were reduced using deodorizing plant extracts by changing the kimchi fermentation characteristics.

The burn is acute skin injury caused by fire, hot water. steam. hot oil, sour and salty. It is occurred frequently in the daily life as well as oriental therapy like moxibustion therapy, physical therapy. Nevertheless, medical treatment of the burn is almost dependent on western cure. So we chose the oriental medicine textbooks and the oriental medicine journals that were dealing with the drugs, processing the drugs. peculiar treatment put first external cure. The results were as follows; 1. The burn is acute skin injury caused by fire, hot water, steam, hot oil, sour and salty. 2. The burn cause blisters, irritability and restlessness, nausea, dryness of mouth, constipation, in case of serious, coma, dyspnea and death. The early stage of the burn, blisters form by skin damage and they burst into skin ulceration from which pus issues, the latter term, the wound form scab and healed up. 3. In a light case, medical treatment of the burn was used external treatment by medicine for externalism use, in a serious case, it was used both as an internal remedy and medicine for outward application. Also in the early stage, it was careful of using the cold and cool medicine, as the process of healing, it was used alleviating pain, detoxicating, moistening the skin, growing muscle and skin, convergence, evacuating pus, regeneration of the tissue, strengthen the spleen and nourishing the stomach. 4. The external treatment medication is Herba Ephedrae Oil(麻油), Radix ET Rhizoma Rhei(大黃), Glauberitum(寒水石), Water(水), Pig OiI(猪油), Pig Fat(猪脂), Radix Angelicae Gigantis(當歸), Rhizoma Coptidis(黃連), Cortex Phellodindri(黃栢). The White of an Egg(鷄子淸), Raw Honey(生蜜), Honey(蜜), Wine(酒), Etc. It is mostly the cold and cool medications. 5. Soft extracted and powered dosage form in external treatment is much used. The soft extracted form(32times used) are mostly Chung Ryang paste(淸凉膏) and Fructus Papaveris paste(罌粟膏). The powered form(30times used) are mostly Bingsang Powder(氷霜散), Bosaenggugo Powder(保生救苦散), Sahwang Powder(四黃散). The others is much a various powder adding solvent. 6.

Purpose: Bokbunja (Rub coreanus Miquel), mulberry and blueberry have been reported to have powerful anti-antioxidant and anti-aging activities. The purpose of this study was to compare the quality characteristics and antioxidant activities of gravy sauce added with Bokbunja, mulberry and blueberry. Methods: Quality characteristics pH, brix, color and sensory characteristics of samples were evaluated. Antioxidant activities of samples were compared using total phenol, 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS) cation radical scavenging and 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) radical scavenging activities. Results: Mulberry juice showed significantly (p<0.05) higher values of pH and $^{\circ}Bx$ compared to Bokbunja and blueberry juice. Bokbunja juice also had significantly (p<0.05) higher value of Color-L value than mulberry and blueberry juice. The total phenol contents and ABTS cation radical scavenging activity of Bokbunja juice were 236.50 mgGAE/100 g and 61.66%, respectively, which were significantly (p<0.05) higher than those of blueberry and mulberry juice. pH value of gravy sauce added with mulberry (MBS) was 4.67, which was significantly higher than that of the control gravy sauce (GS) and gravy sauce added with Bokbunja (BJS) which had the lowest (p<0.05) pH value 4.33. $^{\circ}Bx$ of GS (13.50) was not significantly different from that of MBS and BBS. However, BJS showed the lowest (p<0.05) value $12.33^{\circ}Bx$. Total phenol contents and ABTS cation radical scavenging activity of BJS were 78.09 mgGAE/100 g and 14.47%, respectively, which were significantly (p<0.05) higher than those of MBS or BBS. Values of sensory characteristics color, sour aroma and sour flavor of BJS were significantly (p<0.05) higher value than those of other samples. Conclusion: Bokbunja juice and gravy sauce showed higher antioxidant activities and higher acceptance test compared to blueberry and mulberry. Thus, Bokbunja has the potential to be added to as high value products in the food industry.
